      Praise for Marion

      "When it comes to the increasingly treacherous landscape of the American supermarket, with its marketing hype and competing health claims, Marion Nestle is an absolutely indispensable guide: knowledgeable, eminently sane -- and wonderful company, too."

      -- Michael Pollan, author of 'The Botany of Desire'

      "The industry wants you to believe there are no good foods or bad foods. Well, that's not true. And I can't think of anyone who knows the difference better than Marion Nestle."

      -- Eric Schlosser, author of 'Fast Food Nation'

      "Meticulously researched, thorough, and indispensable -- Marion Nestle's 'What To Eat' delivers on its title. It's a reliable, riveting guide to the amazing truth about what we're sold by the American food distribution system. Refreshingly rigorous and fun to read."

      -- Alice Waters, founder and proprietor of Chez Panisse
